Warrior Code

This is the Warrior Code that the Clan Cats follow by, the Kin Cats follow by a similar code (which I won't bother to rewrite) but it goes by the name of Peace Terms.

Anything unique to only the Kin Clans will be added in with Bold.



The Warrior Code

The warrior code is a series of strict laws laid down by StarClan for all of the Clans to follow. While the exact code is not listed anywhere, it is clear to all Clans what the rules in the warrior code are. There are countless other laws in the warrior code. If warriors break this code, a punishment, whether it be from a duty involving caring for the elders to exile to even death, will undoubtedly result. The punishment depends on the severity of the broken code and the Clan leader themself. For example, if an apprentice had been caught eating during a hunting mission, they may be punished simply by not being allowed to take any fresh-kill for the rest of the day. Another example could be if a cat betrayed their Clan. The Clan leader may decide to exile them as proper punishment. Only a few of the rules of the Warrior code is known they are:

The Clan is to be fed for before any individual cat.
The safety of the Clan is more important than that of any individual cat. Each Clan has specific borders.
Prey is not to be stolen from another Clan's territory. Once a rabbit crosses a border line, it is another Clan's prey.
Clan borders are not to be crossed.
A Gathering lasts as long as the moon is highest in the sky.
Medicine cats may not fall in love nor have kits.
Cats may not fall in love with nor have kits with cats from other Clans.
